Even has he criticizes government policies for pushing up the cost of housing, Conservative leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre is defending investments he and his wife made in rental properties that some economists say contribute to rising real estate prices.

Why isn’t she asking 1/3 of Trudeaus cabinet whom own real estate investments?
You mean 100% of them. In Canada you can’t even run for office unless you own at least 4000 dollars in land. Old law.
Because Trudeau doesn’t take questions from hostile journalist. Even then he rarely answers questions, just says off some relevant or non-relevant memorized talking point. He gets by on his looks and his name.
becasue is a liberal reporter, its the same tactics they attack trump
Why won’t these journalists ask liberal party leaders who own millions of investments
these career politicians are all the same, what can you do
Ask Treudo this who has a 100mil+ trust fund.
Exactly
I thought Trudeau’s net worth was around 15M?
@Ragnar Axelson LOL Sure 15m, while he has a 60 Million Dollar super yatch being worked on in the Bahamas looooooooool. wtf?
@BΛSΞ Hearsay. It looks to be 10-15M from what information I can find.
Can you dig into the liberals the same way? How about the NDP
There was no digging and you can be sure all party members do this, that’s why the real estate market won’t ever be fixed.
I live in a coastal community where many of the properties are used as vacation properties or short term rentals, Airbnbs. Where an owner will opt to earn passive income, increase the value of the asset, and incentivize using properties in this way rather than housing a family. This makes rental housing more expensive as well the purchase of property. Renting to a family is more ethical.
Not being a landlord at all is even more ethical.
They are trying to find anything they can now to attack Pierre Poilievre – Shameful.
Speaks volumes.
Trudeau apparently has no investments, or are you forgetting to examine Trudeaus investments as well.
Trudeau only has millions in a foundation that is probably tax exempt, but reporting on that will never happen in Canada. How much is Trudeau worth, would love to know?
Who the guy with the 30mil trust fund that got fired form his teaching job for having a student write a story in the paper about girls not dressing properly?
Why do conservatives always love changing the subject when your politicians are examined? I say ask all politicians and parties these questions and expose Pierre for his hypocrisy as much as the libs.
ya got to like them. so down to earth.
Two straight answers in ten seconds, wonder if Trudeau has even done two straight answers in the last ten years?
What about the sudden stutter he developed? Or didn’t you notice?
@wallbanger – atleast he answered the two questions directly. I have never seen Trudeau do that
@wallbanger You prefer he Pause for 20 seconds glaring into the lens like a sociopath?
She did nothing wrong.
Trudeau’s response: “As we’ve said before, we’ve uh… placed emphasis on uh, our rental agreement, and uh …”
Lets not talk about the previous Liberal ethics investigations and Convictions. Maybe the Canadian Public will forget.
Liberals “forgot”.
If Canadians don’t buy house as an investment property then the economy in real estate would go down the drain. Tons of real estate agents would go out of jobs!
What a shame that would be.
Ask Trudeau the same questions I bet you won’t get a straightforward answer.
Whether you agree with his policies, this is 100% the next prime minister
This guy is insane lol
Perhaps. His position on Ukraine is already certain
@William Dastous-Stampe why?
Rental in Edmonton is relatively cheap compared with other big cities, and most apartments are pet-friendly.
There are no problems with having rental homes as long as they are housing long-term renters.
Even if they are not affordable….gotcha…
Again it’s cheaper to buy than to rent. His stammering says it all
Never seen Pierre stutter so much. Somethings fishy with him and his wife.
How can we trust someone to fix the housing crisis when they benefit from it?
